MR.. MANSFIELD AS PRINCE KARL.

A cordial greeting given last night at the Union
Square Theatre to Mr. Richard Mansfield, who appeared
there with his dramatic company In Mr.. A. C. Gunters
comical play OF" Prince Karl" This piece chiefly be-
cause It vtaized by Mr. Manseds fervent artistic
spirit and illustrated by his trained felcitous and ade
aate art had long and successful upon the local
stage sumner and since that time 1t has been
and accepted in many other cities. IL WIS sufficiently
considered the first and particular discussion OF
not requisite Alterations have been made in 1t
from tmo time with view TO the modification of its
farcca extravaganza and IL has become compact
and coherent composition than It was ut first and
harmonious with probability. Now as BEFORE however,
its essential charm is found to reside In Mr. Mansaes
treatment OF its principal character.
The temperament OF this actor commn giles copous
profuson and symmetry the elements of passion,
sentiment and humor and ho has made the character OF
Prince hdrt an apt vehicle for the fortunate expression OF
his temperament His spirit ardent. his taste refined.
his artistic etconcy uncomm0ny brilliant and his
cutiOn OF his ideal Is bold, clcarcut vigorous and pct
urcsquo Mr.. Mansfield Is exceptional actor In this
respect-that. possessing abundant fire and deighng
III mpctuousy OF action he also possesses hne sense
OF artistic proprcty and power OF sclcontrol which
always prevent him from becoming ebulent, extraya-
CANT and absurd The part OF Prince Kart would speedily
become frivolous and foolish II played by artist less
expert than Mr. Mansfield less fortunate IN nature less
happy In the commanding power aud GROWING grace OF
intellectual character
The representation last night carried through with
incessant and delightful vivacy. MIR. Mansfield has
good dramatic company and through many repotitons
OF the comedy smooth and harmonious effect TO which
all the players contribute has naturally been obtained
Mr. Mansfield loudly appa AIDED aud several times
was called before the curtain.

caNADTAN TARIFF ORACLES


The Literal leaders in Canada are talking
on both sides of the tariff question. Mr.. Blake.
who will succeed Sir John Macdonald II the
Government be defeated to-day in the
elections. has been singularly elastic in his ut
teranccs. The journals Of his party have q
large assortment of quotations from his speeches
from which they select texts applicable TO local
conditions In the Maritime Provinces, where
protection is unpopular, tho quotations In use
represent him to be a Free Trader pure and
simple. In The manufacturing centres of On
tario other texts as eloquent in their dichon
cvince his sympathy with protection. His po-
litical associates seem TO have no difficulty in
proving before different audiences that he is
or that he is not In favor Of free coal. that he is
or that he is not an extreme Protecionist so far
as the duties on brcadstufis are concerned. and
that he will or that he will not revise the tariff
il he be returned to power The political
Oracles In Canada are as cquivocal as Demo
cratic voices in the United States during
Presidential election. They mean all things
to all men.
Sir Richard Cartwright has adopted another
and possibly shrewdcr method of avoiding the
danger Of too outspoken declaration of piin-
ciples. He processes to be firm and sincere
believer in free trade, but acknowledges that
his theories cannot safely be carried out. The
National policy brought in by Sir John Mac
donald he dcnounccs as an act of supreme fol-
ly, which has fostercd monOpolics, injured trade.
driven a mass Of population across the border
and been from first to last a colossal blundcr.
Such vigorous invective ought surely TO win
for him the votes of every Free Trader in his
district But while theoretically he is hostile
to the National policy and would repeal the
customs schedules, practically he would do
nothing whatever because he considers a high
tariff absolutely necessary when the expcndit-
ures Of the country are as large as they are
at present. Consequently, every manufacturer
who wishes to have the present system retained
can vote for him with feeling Of tranquil
security. Sir Richard Cartwright is one Of the
most convenient of political compasscs, since
he points north and east simultaneously He
is probably the most innOcuous Free Trader on
the Continent, for while he holds that his the
cries are perfect they cannot possibly he carried
into practice, and consequently are worthless

IN TNF4TOR1RLE INDICdTTON

The friends of high license must look with
suspicion on the action Of the Assembly Excise
Committee in agreeing TO report for the con-
sderaion of the Assembly bill to open liquor
shops in this city on Sundays after 2 p. m. 1t
is to bc feared that committee which is ready
to report such bin can have small apprccia-
ton of public sentiment, and still less incina-
ton TO do anything toward restricting the IL
qnor traffic. But if it reports the high license
bill to the Assembly there is hope that public
sentiment and desire to do something for the
public good may lead that body to pass it.
1t can hardly be possible that bill to open
liquor shops OF any kind in this city on Sum

day will receive the approval of the Legislature.
The Democrats will undoubtedly vote for it as
they have before, with few exceptions An in
vcstigation made by the Church Temperance
Society has shown that about 90 per cent of
sll the primary meetings of the Democrats in
this city are held in liquor shops. That party
isunder the domination of the liquor dealers, and
it has not a representative in the Legislature
from this city who is not their friend. But no
Republican can support such a measure and
represent his party. 1t does not speak well for the
Assembly Excise Committee that it should be
even willing 70 report such bill for g the con-
sheraton " of the Assembly. That body, We
trust, can bc depended upon promptly and
chectually to kill this Ubiquitous measure.
